    Mr. Linder, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 176]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 176, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

               brief summary of provisions of resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of an 
unnumbered concurrent resolution of either House providing for 
the adjournment of the two Houses during the Independence Day 
district work period. The rule waives all points of order 
against the consideration of the resolution.
    While adjournment resolutions are ordinarily privileged, a 
point of order could be raised against the July 4th district 
work period resolution on grounds it violates section 309 of 
the Budget Act that requires that the House cannot adjourn for 
more than three calendar days in July if it has not completed 
action on all appropriations bills; and on the grounds that it 
violates section 310 of the Budget Act that requires the same 
with respect to completing action on a reconciliation bill if 
one is required by the budget resolution.
